Julian Sands, the actor, who disappeared whilst climbing in January, 2023, is now feared dead by his family and friends.
Julian Sands’ brother Nick has said that he knows “in my heart” that his sibling is no longer alive, as the search for the missing British actor entered its 11th day. In comments to his local Yorkshire paper, the Craven Herald, Mr Sands said: “He has not yet been declared missing, presumed dead, but I know in my heart that he has gone. However sibling rivalry being what it is, it would be just like him to walk out of there and prove me wrong.”
The actor known for roles in A Room with a View and Arachnophobia, was feared dead after failing to return from a hike in Southern California on 13 January. He was reported missing by a friend. He had been hiking in the area of Mount Baldy, a 10,000ft peak about 50 miles east of Los Angeles, according to San Bernardino County sheriff’s department. ...It is understood that his son, Henry, 37, was in California helping with the search ...The last successful cell phone “ping” was Sunday [15 Jan], after which his phone has not communicated, probably because it has lost power, police said. A silver Volvo believed to belong to Sands was found on Wednesday night [18 Jan], covered in snow.Rescuers began searching for Sands shortly after the alarm was raised but the operation was paused on Saturday evening [14 Jan], about 24 hours after it began, due to the condition of the trail and the risk of avalanches. The search with helicopters and drones is continuing as weather conditions allow, and the ground search will resume when it is safe, the sheriff’s department said.
